ABAP code example for Function Module AUTHORITY_CHECK_OLE





The ABAP code below is a full code listing to execute function module AUTHORITY_CHECK_OLE including all data declarations. The code uses the latest in-line data DECLARATION SYNTAX but I have included an ABAP code snippet at the end to show how declarations would look using the original method of declaring data variables up front. This will allow you to compare and fully understand the new inline method. Please note some of the newer syntax such as the @DATA is not available until a later 4.70 service pack (SP8).



DATA(ld_program) = some text here

DATA(ld_activity) = 'Check type of data required'.


DATA(ld_application) = some text here
.

CALL FUNCTION 'AUTHORITY_CHECK_OLE'
  EXPORTING
*   program =                    ld_program
    activity =                   ld_activity
    application =                ld_application
  EXCEPTIONS
    NO_AUTHORITY =               1
    ACTIVITY_UNKNOWN =           2
    .  "  AUTHORITY_CHECK_OLE

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
  "All OK
ELSEIF SY-SUBRC EQ 1. "Exception
  "Add code for exception here
ELSEIF SY-SUBRC EQ 2. "Exception
  "Add code for exception here
ENDIF.







ABAP code to compare 7.40 inline data declaration with original syntax

The below ABAP code uses the older none in-line data declarations. This allows you to see the coding differences/benefits of the later inline syntax. It may also be useful if you are using an older version of SAP as some of the newer syntax above, such as the @DATA is not available until 4.70 EHP 8.

DATA:


ld_program  TYPE AUTHB-PROGRAM ,
ld_activity  TYPE C ,
ld_application  TYPE AUTHB-OLE_APPL .





ld_program = some text here
ld_activity = 'Check type of data required'.

ld_application = some text here
